After officially entering the eighth-stage Heavenly Cycle Realm, Jiang Wang adjusted his daily meridian cultivation to two sessions in the morning and two in the evening.
He no longer pursued the speed of condensing Dao vortices. On the contrary, he took the initiative to slow down and stabilize his foundation.
He built the Little Three Talents and completed the minor Heavenly Cycle Realm naturally. However, the accumulation of the major Heavenly Cycle Realm was not enough.
Even so, with the addition of the Star Twining Spirit Snake and the three Starry River Vortices, Jiang Wang's Heavenly Palace could generate 33 Dao Energy every day. This meant that he could build a new Dao vortex in about 10 days.
Jiang Wang used a large amount of Dao Energy to practice Dao techniques and hone his foundation in the Heavenly Cycle Realm.
Among the brothers, Jiang Wang and Du Yehu were eighth-stage Heavenly Cycle Realm cultivators.
Du Yehu was able to achieve such a cultivation speed in the military because of the Four Spirits Body-Tempering Technique and the Ancient Army's path of channeling Qi and blood. In this aspect, he had pulled ahead of Jiang Wang.
Zhao Rucheng, on the other hand, quietly completed his foundation and caught up to Ling He's cultivation.
Two ninth-stage Meridian Wandering cultivators and one eighth-stage Heavenly Cycle Realm cultivator could form a small team independently to complete some slightly more difficult missions.
The Dao Academy's cultivators' thirst for Dao Merits was endless.
For example, Ling He and Zhao Rucheng each had to be equipped with at least one Dharma artifact. The two lowest-grade Dharma artifacts required 1,000 Dao Merits. For example, some powerful Dao techniques other than conventional Dao techniques that had an immediate effect on combat strength also required a certain amount of Dao Merits. For example, Jiang Wang wanted to exchange for a better Meridian Unlocking Pill for Jiang Anan. However, he did not even know the price and could only save up as much as possible.
Therefore, he had to actively complete missions. Actively challenge them.
Not only could he temper himself, but he could also verify what he had learned and help build the country. It had to be said that the first person to establish the Dao Merits system was truly a great talent who understood the world.
Although Huang Azhan was always with them, as the senior brother of the previous batch, he also had a fixed team.
Usually, teams that worked together all year round had a maximum of five people.
Although Jiang Wang's team only had three people, they could not be considered weak.
Back then, Jiang Wang had been unable to lay down his foundation for a long time. No one had expected him to enter the Heavenly Cycle realm so quickly.
The others didn't know how strong Jiang Wang, who had been fighting crazily in the Grand Illusionary Land and using "Kung Fu" to pave the way and hone himself, was now.
Although it had not been long since he stepped into the Heavenly Cycle Realm, if the Three Cities Dao Symposium were to be held again, he was confident that he could compete for the championship of the third-year students.
In terms of cultivation and combat strength, Jiang Wang was already in the lead. However, the captain was still Ling He.
It had been like this since he was in the outer sect. Ling He considered every problem thoroughly and did things steadily. Although he didn't seem to have a strong sense of presence, he was someone who would never make a mistake. Moreover, he was the most popular person in the Dao College.
As for the remaining two vacancies in the team, Jiang Wang and the others decided to fill them with their junior brothers next year. If there isn't a suitable one, I'd rather leave it empty.
In the same team, there were too many tests to face. It was important for them to be on the same wavelength. Sometimes, an unsuitable person could cause the death of the entire team.
After the team was formed, the first mission they received was a rank-8 mission.
Moreover, it was a mission directly issued to them by the Dao College, so they could not reject it. Of course, the Dao Points reward was also increased by 30% as usual.
The mission's details were not complicated.
A full team of Dao College disciples was annihilated while on a mission to kill two heretical Dao demons. Only one Meridian Wandering cultivator survived.
According to the intelligence, these two heretical Dao demons were only rank-9 cultivators. This Dao College team had two rank-8 Heavenly Cycle cultivators and three rank-9 Meridian Wandering cultivators. Logically speaking, this was a sure-win mission.
What Ling He's team needed to do was to investigate the truth behind this mission.
And the only survivor of this mission was Fang Heling.
...
Jiang Wang braced himself and went to the Fang Clan's territory again. His mood was undoubtedly very complicated.
He had drunk to his heart's content here before, and he had also narrowly escaped death here.
However, what surprised him was that in the entire Fang Clan's territory, the Fang Clan members were all in a hurry. Not many paid them any attention. Of course, there was also no enmity as expected.
Zhao Rucheng and Jiang Wang glanced at each other, then casually stopped a woman who was passing by.
"Hello, Miss. May I ask where Fang Heling is?"
The girl was extremely impatient at first, but when she saw Zhao Rucheng's handsome face, she relaxed a little. She brushed her hair and said, "You should ask the young clan leader …"
Young clan leader?
Zhao Rucheng was somewhat interested. He smiled and said, "We are all disciples of the Dao College. We have some matters to discuss with Junior Brother Fang. Is it convenient for you to tell us? "
Hearing that Zhao Rucheng was a disciple of the Dao College and Fang Heling's senior brother, the girl's resentment had completely dissipated. This woman had already completely dispelled the resentment of being stopped halfway, and her smile became exceptionally bright. "Young Clan Leader is at home! The roads here are messy. Let me lead you there. "
As she spoke, she led Zhao Rucheng forward. From beginning to end, she completely ignored Ling He and Jiang Wang, who were beside her.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you." Zhao Rucheng smiled gently, like the spring breeze warming him.
The two of them chatted happily along the way. Ling He and Jiang Wang silently followed behind. By the time they reached Fang Heling's house, the two of them had almost started exchanging their birth characters.
After volunteering to explain the purpose of her visit to the gatekeeper, the girl reluctantly left.
Zhao Rucheng smiled and said goodbye to her. He turned back and smiled. "Interesting."
Of course, the girl wasn't the interesting one.
In the conversation just now, they had already understood the changes in the Fang family.
The old clan leader of the Fang family, who had been bedridden for many years, had just passed away a few days ago. The actual clan leader of the Fang family, Fang Zehou, had naturally become a real person.
But now, the real person in charge of the Fang family was the "young clan leader" Fang Heling.
Because after Fang Zehou became the clan leader, he had handed over all the power of the family to his son.
Of course, this would happen sooner or later. It was natural to pave the way for his son. But it gave people the feeling that he was in too much of a hurry. Moreover, Fang Zehou was young and vigorous. He shouldn't have retired so early.
Just as they were thinking about this, the gatekeeper reported back.
Fang Heling didn't put on airs. He directly followed the gatekeeper out the door. His expression wasn't very good, but he wasn't too rude either.
This was actually an improvement. Originally, with his previous character, Jiang Wang thought that he would make a fuss.
"What's the matter?" He asked Ling He.
"It's like this, Junior Fang." Ling He explained, "About the mission you went through before …"
"I've already explained that mission very clearly. The Dao Academy and the Arrest Department have records. "Fang Heling interrupted him," You can look through them and not ask me again. You don't have that kind of right. I also don't have that kind of obligation. "
"We have the right." Ling He said very calmly, "We accepted the Dao Academy's investigation mission. Any person or organization involved will need to cooperate with us. Not only you, but the Arrest Department is also the same. "
"Investigation mission?" Fang Heling seemed to be somewhat shocked. But he quickly suppressed it and didn't reveal any more emotions.
He only said, "Okay, then I'll say it again. That day, we chased after two heretical demons to a mountain outside the Du Family Town. Because we had already reached the Qichang mountain range and my leg was injured, I asked if we should lie in ambush outside the mountain and wait for the demons to come down.
But the leader, Senior Zhang Xizhi, insisted. He told me to stay and recuperate while he led the others into the mountain.
I waited until the next day, but they still didn't come down. I knew something had happened, so I contacted the local authorities. People from the Arrest Department and the Dao Academy rushed over and found their skeletons in a cave. This is what happened. "
His right leg was indeed wrapped in several layers of gauze, and there were faint traces of blood.
"Only the skeletons?" Jiang Wang asked. He couldn't help but think of what happened in Tangshe Town.
Fang Heling glanced at him. There was no longer any hatred in his eyes. "Yes."
He then turned to Ling He and said, "That's all I know. I don't know about the other things. My grandfather died. My father was too grieved and couldn't take charge. Right now, I'm the only one supporting the Fang family. I'm very busy. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me. Okay? "
Finished speaking, he looked at Ling He who still hadn't moved and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I want to go in and burn some incense."
"What?" Fang Heling thought he heard wrong.
But Ling He only said very seriously, "I want to burn incense for Fang Pengju's grandfather. He loved Pengju very much when he was alive. "
He really just wanted to pay his respects. It was very pure and very simple.
Fang Heling was silent for a while, then stepped aside to let him in.
